The English and Japanese versions of six attacks.

The real question is: Which will be higher, Final Flash or Galick Gun?

Someone will be upset no matter what the answer is.

I'm gonna go with Galick Gun. Final Flash is cool and all, but Galick Gun vs Kamehameha is iconic.

The moment is iconic, but the move itself is just generic beam attack.

Same for the Final Flash to be fair.

And the Geniki Dama is just a giant ball.

So now that we're talking about attack names, I have to ask: is calling attacks, characters, etc. by their Japanese names the result of originally going through Dragon Ball with versions that refer to them by their Japanese names, or is it simply a matter of preference?

Beautiful flying rose attack or bust.

milky cannon

EDIT: Just when I thought this was the silliest attack name in Dragonball... I find out Vegeta Blue has a move called Niagara Pummel.

Look how yoked he is. -spit- Straight up cockdiesel.

I’d be surprised if the Mafuuba wasn’t on there.

Final Flash and Galick Gun deserve a mention. Vegeta's Galick Gun overpowered Goku's Kamehameha when Goku was more powerful than Vegeta by a 1/3. The gap between Vegeta and Goku was larger than the gap between Frieza and SSJ Goku, and Vegeta's beam was still beating Goku's ass.

And the Final Flash was powerful enough to obliterate Perfect Cell. That deserves props, given how otherwise outclassed Vegeta was.

But I don't think they deserve two slots and I also don't think one deserves the slot over the other. Can "Vegeta Beams" just be a slot? I know the Kamehameha is going to get #1 but honestly, in the field of beamcrafting, Vegeta's the gold-medal winner. Nobody beams like Vegeta's beams.

Vegeta has beams that hit real hard and having very nice narrative framing but Goku is able to apply them in new and interesting ways. Like launching himself with foot Kamehameha, instant transmission Kamehameha, using Kamehameha to drift on a beam, firing the Kamehameha and then attacking through it. All those are very cool.

[up][up] Are you talking about the beam struggle during Goku and Vegeta's first fight? Or are you talking about something else? Because when they first fought Vegeta was definitely the stronger one, until Goku used the Kaioken, and then Vegata lost the beam struggle pretty quick.
